The Rabbit Pest in Australia.

The extent of the rabbit Pest in Vic
toria may be comprehended from a recent
report Of the United States consul gen.
eral. At least 10, ZOO, 900 acres have been
rendered almost useless and uninhabitable
through the damage caused by the rodent.
In n section, where 200, 900 sheep were
fed in 1875, less than 100, 000 found good
grass to eat in 1882, and the loss here, in
various ways in the last five years, has
been at least es00, 900. The government
has spent about ESQ, 900 In efforts to rid
the country Of the pest, the principal
means used being poisoned food, such as
pbosphorizcd oats and wheat, bran and
chat charged with arsenic and bisulphide
OF carbon. There has also been offered a
bonus Of three pence a dozen ON all skins
brought IN TO certain officers. The figures
show that LISA 900 rabbits have been
paid for under this offer.-Boston Trans

no books except two or three elegantly

Heyed by a band of maroon flock

walls, is an ingram, repeating the
maroon and neutral tint Of the paper,

three upholstered rockers of different
but harmonious coIOrs; the commodious
table is covered by an ample spread of

Physiology OF Digestion.

The physiology of digestion has been
so thoroughly Investigated of late wears
that it would seem that there could be
very little opportunity for difference Of
opinion on most Of its leading princi-
pies, and vet we find that authorities
are on some points very much AT yari-
ance. We are told that nothing can be
more prejudicial than the habit Of
chewing gum, supposed to be so com
mon among school children. The sali-
vary glands are so unuaturally ex-
cited, and pour forth 50 much saliva in
the act, that when food is masticated
they are not able to respond rs fully as
Is necessary for the proper insalivation
OF the food. We are also informed that
food should not be eaten Just before re-
firing; that thoroughly refreshing
sleep requires perfect repose of all the
organs; and that if we 90 to sleep
with a more or less full stomach, sleep
will be disturbed and unsatisfactory.
The authorities of Amherst college evil
IDENTIFY do not agree with these views.
In the Instructions which they give to
their students To guide them in their
gEmnastic exercises. after specifying
the kind and amount Of physical exer-
cises, they recommend sleeping for
half an hour after dinner and supper if
possible, and, if sleepless at night from
brain work, to eat few graham crack
ers before retiring, to draw the excess
OF blood from the brain to the stomach
In reference to the practice Of chewing
gum, this statement is made: Chew
INC gum daily before eating and be-
tween meals increases the flow of
saliva. and so aids the digestion Of fat
making foods Il also Indirectly slim
Ulates the secretion of the digestive
juices of the stomach. We have no
means of knowing, bat we presume
that Prof. Hitchcock OF Amherst. who
Is himself physician, is largely re-
spousible for this advice, and have no
doubt that he has given it after ma
ture consideration. We fully agree
with what is said in the instructions
about the usefulness OF food in cases of
sleeplcs7ness, and believe that many a
person has been kept awake at night
from a mistaken idea OF the ahstcm-
iuusness before retiring. This. OF
course, does not mean that late suppers
are under all circumstances to be re-
commended, but a few graham crack
ars can never do harm. and viii often
do good. In regard to the chewing
gum we do not feel 50 sure Besides
being Il practice which is from an
aesthetic point of view not to be en-
coura@td, ii is very doubtful whether,
under ,he most favorable circumsttn-
ees, it is really benefit 10 digestion,
and, until there is some guarantee IS
10 the composition Of what is called
chewing-gjm. we should hesitate be-
fore recommending it III such unquali-
lied terms.-ScsCHce.

Three Valuable Vacant Houses.

Three of the finest houses in New
York city, formerly owned by the rich
est women in the city. are now vacated
by death, and are only in charge of ser
wants. These houses belong to the es-
tates of Mary Jane Morgan Cornelia
NJ. Stewart, and Henrietta Lenox. The
first left a couple of millions and the
finest collection OF works Of art and
bric-a-brac in America. The estate,
however is in litigation, and in the
meantime the house stands vacant.
The estate Of Henrietta Lenox is also in
litigation, and her late residence is like
" to remain in its present condition for
some time The Stewart estate will
probably be the first to be settled, and
the vacant palace is really in the mar
ket, though it has not thus far been
publicly offered for sale The delay,
however. is only due to the difficulty in
disposing Of the pictures. Hilton does
not want them, for, to say nothing Of
the cost, he has no place for such works,
some Of which require gallery built
for the purpose. Young CIinch, the
favored heir, does not want them, as he
prefers to live in Paris. II William H.
Vanderbilt were alive, he, no doubt,
would be a purchaser, but he is gone,
and in his death art lost the most liber-
